Abstract: Systems and processes for scanning a user interface are disclosed. One process can include scanning multiple elements within a user interface by highlighting the elements. The process can further include receiving a selection while one of the elements is highlighted and performing an action on the element that was highlighted when the selection was received. The action can include scanning the contents of the selected element or performing an action associated with the selected element. The process can be used to navigate an array of application icons, a menu of options, a standard desktop or laptop operating system interface, or the like. The process can also be used to perform gestures on a touch-sensitive device or mouse and track pad gestures (e.g., flick, tap, or freehand gestures).

Abstract: While an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface is in a screen reader accessibility mode, the device displays a character input area and a keyboard, the keyboard including a plurality of key icons. The device detects a sequence of one or more gestures on the touch-sensitive surface that correspond to one or more characters. A respective gesture of the one or more gestures that corresponds to a respective character is a single finger gesture that moves across the touch-sensitive surface along a respective path that corresponds to the respective character. The respective path traverses one or more locations on the touch-sensitive surface that correspond to one or more key icons of the plurality of key icons without activating the one or more key icons. In response to detecting the respective gesture, the device enters the corresponding respective character in the character input area of the display.

Abstract: While an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface is in a screen reader accessibility mode, the device displays an application launcher screen including a plurality of application icons. A respective application icon corresponds to a respective application stored in the device. The device detects a sequence of one or more gestures on the touch-sensitive surface that correspond to one or more characters. A respective gesture that corresponds to a respective character is a single finger gesture that moves across the touch-sensitive surface along a respective path that corresponds to the respective character. The device determines whether the detected sequence of one or more gestures corresponds to a respective application icon of the plurality of application icons, and, in response to determining that the detected sequence of one or more gestures corresponds to the respective application icon, performs a predefined operation associated with the respective application icon.

Abstract translation: 虽然具有显示器和触敏表面的电子设备处于屏幕阅读器可访问性模式中，但是该设备显示包括多个应用图标的应用启动器屏幕。 相应的应用图标对应于存储在设备中的相应应用。 设备检测对应于一个或多个字符的触敏表面上的一个或多个手势的序列。 对应于相应字符的相应手势是沿着对应于相应字符的相应路径跨越触敏表面移动的单个手指手势。 所述设备确定检测到的一个或多个手势的序列是否对应于多个应用图标的相应应用图标，并且响应于确定所检测的一个或多个手势的序列对应于相应的应用图标，执行预定义的 与相应的应用程序图标相关的操作。

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques and interfaces for generating synthesized speech outputs. For example, a user interface for a text-to-speech service can include ranked and/or categorized phrases, which can be selected to enter as text. A synthesized speech output is then generated to deliver any entered text, for example, using a personalized voice model.
